Epstein Files: Democrats’ New Steele Dossier?

Scott Jennings tore into the media narrative on CNN. Short version: the Epstein Files are being used like the old Steele Dossier. Same playbook. Same smell.

Jennings, the lone conservative voice on that network, warned people not to let selective citations drive the story. He called out Democrats for piling on TV and making innuendo the story.

“You have Democrat after Democrat after Democrat, even Hillary Clinton just a little while ago, all too happy to go on television and cast aspersions on his [Trump’s] character, using this idea that while his name appears in the files, they’re trying to mislead the American people,” Jennings said. “It’s the Steele dossier all over again. That’s all this is. Let’s throw out something and hope it sticks, even though there’s no evidence whatsoever.”

He pushed for following the law on release of records. He said transparency is fine — as long as the process isn’t weaponized for partisan headlines.

“If the files can be released, and they should be released according to the law that Congress passed, they should do that. Now, I know they have a process for going through these documents, and it’s weeding out things that are duplicative or not germane. And, as was explained yesterday, here, there are files all over the country, apparently, and they’re still collecting them. So I get the process may be a little more onerous than perhaps many people know regarding Trump,” Jennings said.

Jennings also reminded viewers that President Donald Trump once alerted police about Epstein — a fact critics often skip when spinning the story. That detail cuts against the smear narrative, he argued.

This all feels familiar. A flashy new dossier. A rush to name-drop. Cable TV fervor. The appetite for scandal stays, even when evidence is thin. The point Jennings made: Democrats and media will chase whatever headline helps their cause. The Epstein Files are just the latest target.

One more thing: if the files are to be public, do it by law, not by leaks and selective clips. Let the record show what’s real and what’s rumor.
